You felt the cold come into the room when Trump walked in just by watching the video. Trump had to sit down next to the man he called is an illegitimate President who wasn't born here and a former first lady he said should be thrown in jail. And a President he called a rapist.

I say never let a reluctance to overgeneralize get in the way of an agenda.

Trump is no Christian, and it's pathetic and inexplicable that the Evangelicals believe he is. Then again, 1000 people in Guyana drank cyanide-laced Kool-Aid because they believed Jim Jones was the next coming of Christ, so I guess in a cult, nothing should surprise us.

I remember them falling on their fainting couch, en mass, when he didn't have a flag pin on his lapel.

I expect Evangelicals to put their money where their mouths are. They preach family values, the sanctity of marriage, love of God and family and all that, and then support Trump? No. They are either frauds, or they are hypocrites.

In the real world, the good world that existed before Trump, the Evangelicals would call him out. They would not support him.

Democrats aren't trying o destroy anyone's religious beliefs, Pero. Not even close. And that comment is coming from someone who voted for every Republican candidate between 1980 and 2018.

The hard core nutty evangelicals actually had a third party movement in "The Constitution Party" for a while. Which was like a Libertarian Party but with a lot of religious social conservatism. Or what people on this site call themselves "Right Wing Libertarians". I think they gave up on that and instead decided to co-opt the GOP.

I don't need to see The Ten Commandments in City Hall or a court house, any more than I need to see the Koran or verses from the Book of Mormon or Wiccan spells. Those are governmental buildings, not houses of worship.

Trump was a vocal pro-choicer for decades, up to and including partial birth abortion. If the Evangelicals don't know that, they're stupider than I thought.

Syrian refugees? What do they have to do with Trump not being religious at all, and the Evangelicals putting their support behind him?

The Democrats, who I have opposed since the day I was eligible to vote, have done absolutely nothing to destroy anyone's religion.

You sure about that? I snuck in your church and smeared peanut-butter on your cross.

As for "cold come into the room", you could see the icicles hanging off Michelle and Hillary's nose. They couldn't even stop themselves during such somber occasion.

This hand-waving away after 8 years of slings and arrows from the evangelicals on clinton's libido and 8 more years of how Obama was a muslim because they couldn't find any real negative angle from christian land.

What do you really expect?

I have yet to see the democrats put their money where their mouths are....unless it's other people's money they're using.

No one expects them to vote for Dems. They are just basically proving that religion has nothing to do with their choices despite them saying its all about morals and religion and God and Jesus etc etc etc. Their decisions are party based and not religion based. They are phonies. What bother's them is the D. All their decisions are based on how to thwart the D. They won't ever go for the D but I'm very willing to give them the D. I will help ram the D right down their throats.
